Lesson III Willie’s Letter

Lesson IV The Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star;
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!

When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light;
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then, if I were in the dark,
I would thank you for your spark.
I could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

And when I am sound asleep,
Oft you through my window peep;
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
